Welcome to Phoenix Auctions No.18 Welcome to our first auction for 2013. We hope everyone had a terrific festive season and that you are all looking forward to an exciting New Year. For those who like to do a bit of forward planning, Auction 19 is scheduled for late-March or early April. Auction 20 is The Stuart Hardy Kangaroos auction, which is is being held on 10th May in conjunction with the Australia 2013 World Exhibition at the historic Exhibition Building in Melbourne. Auction 21 will be held in late-June. In addition to this we will be holding our smaller BoxLot auctions generally the day before each normal auction. Our first BoxLot auction for 2013 is #1301 and it will be held on Friday 8thFebruary at about 4pm. Remember that Auction 20, The Stuart Hardy Kangaroos, is a special catalogue and must be requested. There is no charge for receiving this catalogue, or any of our catalogues, so don’t hesitate to ask for one. As you will be aware, Stuart Hardy’s KGV auction had a fantastic response and we anticipate that Auction 20 will meet with an even more enthusiastic response. Viewing for the Hardy Kangaroo Collection will commence at Spring Stampex in London from February 20th to 23rd, where we will have the entire collection available at Stand 14. Other viewing locations and dates will be advised when they become available. Come to Melbourne in May, attend the auction and then round off your trip with a visit to Australia 2013 where you can see all those wonderful exhibits. Auction 18 is another large auction with 1700+ lots and we will therefore be starting the first session at 10am. We will be conducting this in our normal auction room at our premises on Level 2, 170 Queen St, Melbourne. As usual we have split the auction into 3 sessions. Session 1 commences at 10am with lot 2!! A gremlin created an erroneous lot 1 after it was too late to renumber the auction. This session contains the Rest of World lots and the Australian Colonies. Amongst the Rest of World is the last of the Smith Hoard, with a another fine and varied selection of lots associated with the Abyssinian Refugee Camps through Ethiopia and Kenya. This accumulation has many unusual origin/destination mail, rare airmails and elusive or unknown censor markings. A truly extraordinary group of lots. Lot 78, our front cover item, is one of the desirable lots from this hoard.

The second part of Session 1 is the Australian Colonies section. Apart from stamps and postal history it includes an extensive array of Victorian instructional handstamps, and a strong selection of highly rated NSW and Victorian numeral cancels. Session 2 starts at 1:15pm with lot 772 and contains the Roos & Georgian Heads only, with a wide selection of stamps, monograms, imprints, varieties and usages on covers. The KGV section includes a number of items not offered in either the Hardy or Morgan auctions. This session also includes lot 789 which is a nearly complete mint and used Roos collection. With an estimate of $17,000 this is the most expensive collection lot we have ever offered. Session 3 finishes the auction with the balance of the Australian lots and the Australian Territories group. It has a wide range of plate numbers and varieties, rare Postal Stationery and a diverse array of Postal History including military and flight covers.

Phoenix Auctions - Saturday 9th February 2013
How to Get the Most from The Phoenix Website. While quite a number of our clients make full use of the many benefits our website provides, it is obvious that most do not. So we are taking this opportunity to reintroduce these benefits to you. The homepage provides an introduction to current auction, or highlights of the next auction as appropriate. There are menus on the top left to provide different ways of accessing the auction lots. Within each auction menu there are six submenus: 1. In Lot Order - this provides you with a lot order index to the auction by section headings. Simply click on the section and it will take you straight to that part of the catalogue where you can see each lot in order with its full description and all its images. The estimate and starting price and a box for your bids are also displayed. Wherever the starting price is displayed it is always exactly uptodate. 2. By Country - this provides a cross reference listing by country. You don’t need to go backwards and forwards from the index to the catalogue listing anymore. 3. By Topic or Theme - the same as by Country but organised by topic or theme, and there are hundreds of themes. 4. Description Search - this is used for wild card searching through auction lots. This is very powerful and to get the most out of it please email us with search requirements so that we can set it up for you. 5. Image Gallery - this displays every image in lot order. It is a great way to browse an auction. 6. Bulk Bid Entry - this enables you to enter your bids as a batch. So when you have worked out all your bids you can just enter them on this screen rather than finding each lot and entering them one at a time. When you sign on with your Client Code and Password the full benefits are opened up to you. There are 2 entries at the top of the auction submenues. These are: By Collecting Interest - this shows all the lots which match your collecting interests. My Image Gallery - this provides you with just the images for the lots you are interested in. We ask you for your collecting interest so that we can provide you with these quick and easy ways to view just those lots that are likely to be of interest to you. Secondly there are new menus on the top right. These will vary from person to person and can include any of the following:1. My Details - this is where you change your details and preferences 2. My Auction Bidsheet - this is the most important screen we have. It appears the instant you enter a bid and it allows you to manage all you bids from the one screen. It always shows the exact status of all your bids. 3. My Auction Vendor Lots - When you are a vendor this screen shows all your lots in this auction with their current status. You always know exactly the situation with your lots. 4. My Mail Register - this shows you the details of every mailing with dates of mailing, registration numbers, mailing addresses and which invoices are involved. It also tells you whether just an invoice was sent or whether your lots were sent as well. Now you don’t need to call us to see if your lots have been mailed. It is all here for you when you need it. 5. My Invoice Register - this provides the details of every invoice and you can drill down to every lot on every invoice with their full descriptions and images. You always know exactly what is on every invoice. 6. My Receipt Register - this provides a list of every consignment we have received from you. It shows you every lot from each consignment with its full description and images, what auction it was sold in and if it has not been sold what auction it is in. When you have large consignments spread over multiple auctions it is just the screen to enable you to keep track of everything.

My Auction 18 Bidsheet. As we said earlier My Auction 18 Bidsheet is the most important part of the website when you have placed bids in the auction, because it provides everything you need to manage your bidding. With this screen you can change your bids, add limits to ensure you don’t overspend, enter Credit Card details or other special instructions. And it always shows you the current status of your bids. The lot is highlighted when you have the top bid so it is easy to see the current situation with your bids. As well as being able to modify your bids there is a +5% button which increases your bid to 5% above the current starting price. At the bottom of this webpage there is also a field to globally increase all your bids by any percentage amount. Very useful when your bids are all way below the starting price or you want to give yourself that extra level of safety. The website is there to help you get the most when dealing with Phoenix Auctions. We hope you take a little time to use it to your advantage. Remember that we are always happy to help if you have a problem or questions.
Terms and Conditions: These are found on the rear of your printed bidsheet and on the Phoenix website. At this auction Buyer’s commission is 15% ( plus GST.)

HOW TO GET THE MOST FROM OUR CATALOGUE
[These notes are offered as a guide to understanding the information given as symbols.] 1.
Firstly, we have the lot number. All lots have at least 1 illustration on our website, and many will have multiple illustrations.
2.
The second column contains a symbol, which represents the item(s) in the lot: ** Mint, unmounted o.g. * Mint, mounted o.g. V Used, Very fine. F Used, Fine G Used, Good H Used, Heavy U Used,quality unspecified W Unused, no gum D Piece * Cover, card or S Stamp (“Postmarks” lots) PS Postal Stationery B Booklets or Booklet Panes
3.
The 3rd column contains the general description of the of the lot and should be self-evident with one exception. When a catalogue value is extrapolated the value is followed by a ↕, e.g. $2000↕. Typical extrapolations are 40% of the catalogue value for hinged mint when the catalogue only provides values for MUH, 200% for MUH when the catalogue value is for mint hinged. The following notes apply specifically to postmark description. Whenever possible postmarks will be described in full, except that the top portion of a postmark is only spelt out when it differs from the post office name or requires some clarification. Bracketed shaded text within a description indicates that these characters cannot be read, while greyed characters are hard to read or are only partly present, as is the case when part of the postmark is on the edge of a stamp. Very large or small letters are represented by large and small fonts respectively; small fonts are particularly used to indicate the presence of small nylon wheels in the datestamp. The following example illustrates these points: '[POST] OFFICE/21DE86/GARAH'. After the forscription of the postmark we will indicate the overall quality of the cancel with a bracketed 2 character code. The first character is A-D where A is a fine clear postmark through to D which is barely legible. The second character is a number from 1 to 4 where 1 is complete including all the frame through to 4 where only 25% or less of the cancel is visible. For exceptional strikes we will further qualify the quality code with a ‘+’ and for items which are light etc the code will be qualified with a ‘-’. For postmark lots the condition of the postmark is the most important aspect of our descriptions. Minor defects in the stamp or cover are mentioned only when the value of the item is significant. Naturally, major defects will always be described.
4.
The symbols in the second column, and the illustrations of lots, form part of the lot description.
5.
The last column is the estimate. The reserve is almost always 75% of the estimate and bids below the reserve will not usually be considered.
6.
No GST is added to the hammer price. The vendors have accepted responsibility for any tax payable.
7.
We use the following standardised abbreviations: o.g. original gum opt(d) overprint(ed) d/s datestamp cds circular datestamp h/s handstamp mss manuscript; handwritten ERD earliest recorded date LRD latest recorded date o/o opened-out RLabel registration label M/S(s) miniature sheet(s) PPC picture postcard impt imprint mtd mounted provl provisional wmk watermark LDL large dateline (postmarks) SDL small dateline (postmarks) TLC,TRC,LLC,LRC Top Left Cnr, Top Right Cnr, Lower Left Cnr, Lower Right Cnr

1868 First Royal Visit (10 Feb) use of Government House, Sydney, envelope (embossed on flap), addressed in hand of H.R.H. Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, second son of Victoria and Albert, to Richard Hengist Horne (nom de plume of poet, Richard Henry Horne), warden of Blue Mountain Goldfield, Trentham, Victoria, bearing Diadem 6d tied by Sydney duplex. Horne had celebrated with a cantata, Galatea Secunda, the arrival in the Colonies of the Prince. An endorsement, “From Prince Alfred”, possibly in Horne’s hand, appears on reverse of cover. Four weeks after this item was posted, during this first Royal Visit to the Colonies, and whilst attending a picnic at Clontarf, the Prince was shot at close range, the bullet entering about two inches to right of his spine. A team of six nurses, trained by Florence Nightingale, attended upon the Prince, who recovered from the incident within a fortnight. This was Australia’s first conventional assassination attempt. Accompanying are photocopies of biographies and photographs of the Prince, and Horne, and reproduction of cabinet photo of Prince late in life, signed and with handwritten details. [Aside from the importance of this item historically, and its particular desirability to Royal Visit specialists, there is considerable philatelic significance attached. Prince Alfred was one of the early philatelists in the Royal Family; he was elected honorary president of The Philatelic Society, London, in 1890. This is believed to have inspired his nephew, George, later King George V, who benefited from the sale by Alfred of his collection to his brother, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII). This merging of collections gave birth to the Royal Philatelic Collection.] $3,600 1902 (Sep 10) OHMS Returned Letter Envelope to Windsor from Sydney’s Dead Letter Office plus the subject cover from Walter & Son, (solicitors) to “Fred Dunn, Alexander St, Alexandria, Sydney” with boxed ‘UNCLAIMED’ handstamp in red, ‘ALEXANDRIA/SP 11 1902/NSW’ cds & ‘DEAD LETTER OFFICE/OC 11 1902/SYDNEY NSW’ cds in magenta backstamps, some peripheral age spotting. $260
